The Edge Observation Deck was absolutely breathtaking! The view of the New York skyline was incredible, especially on a clear, sunny day. The glass floor and open-air deck gave such a thrilling perspective of the city below. The staff was friendly, and everything was well organized from entry to exit. Perfect spot for photos and soaking in the beauty of NYC from above. Highly recommend visiting right before sunset for the best light and views!

Excellent! I made the decision to visit with my family at 5:30 to have the view of the day and night, to see both views of the city was memorable, the service of The Edge team was exceptional, it was not necessary to wait in line, we had no delays. In my opinion it is one of the best views in NY and I recommend it to all my friends.

The New York Botanical Garden was absolutely stunning! The gardens were beautifully maintained with a wide variety of plants and flowers in full bloom, making it a peaceful escape from the city. The layout made it easy to explore, and there were plenty of spots to stop, take photos, and enjoy the scenery. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was calm and welcoming. A perfect way to spend the day surrounded by nature’s beauty.
